Still life Project

-
For this still life project the item I used were color pencils on the very left, my sketchbook, my notebook for journalism, my pencil pouch, a wooden box with a world map inside and lastly a purple flower. I these items because they pretty much sum up what makes me happy everyday or at least interest me. I choose to go out of my comfort zone use oil pastels for project because I wanted to try something I not very good with and challenge myself a bit. I really like the result of this piece one thing I would improve is toning down the brightness of my colors.
